A) eliminate his Jewish rivals
B) escape from political censorship
C) reverse the rise of Austrian anti-Semitism

Correct Answer: E,
Explanation: can be inferred from the lines: "Freud's professional frustrations, and their political background in the growing anti-Semitism of Vienna in the Nineties, are reflected throughout his pivotal work, The Interpretation of Dreams............His analysis of that dream reveals a political wish to free himself from the fate of the Jews ". The analysis of his dreams reveal that he was disturbed with the growing anti-Semitism and wanted to free himself from the same.
Other options are incorrect as they do not contribute to his suppressed wish in the dream but instead are the desires wants to fulfill with his dream of freeing himself from the fate of Jews.
